Step 1: Install ResumeCraftr

First, install ResumeCraftr using pipx, a tool that helps you install and run Python applications in isolated environments. It works on macOS, Linux, and Windows. Using pipx ensures that ResumeCraftr runs in its own virtual environment, keeping your system's Python installation clean.

To install ResumeCraftr, run:

pipx install git+https://github.com/raestrada/[email protected]

Quick Examples

Here are a few ways to get started with ResumeCraftr:

Initialize a workspace:

poetry run resumecraftr setup --language EN

Create a new CV from scratch:

poetry run resumecraftr new-cv my_cv

Add or update a section in your CV:

poetry run resumecraftr edit-section my_cv "Work Experience"

View your CV:

poetry run resumecraftr view-cv my_cv

Import a CV from PDF:

poetry run resumecraftr import-cv /Users/username/Documents/Personal/Resume.pdf

Parse a CV into sections:

poetry run resumecraftr parse-cv

Add a job description for optimization:

poetry run resumecraftr add-job

Tailor your CV to a job description:

poetry run resumecraftr tailor-cv

Export your CV to PDF:

# Render the most recent tailored sections with PyMuPDF
resumecraftr export-pdf

# Choose a specific tailored file and output path
resumecraftr export-pdf --sections my_cv.tailored_sections.json --output resume.pdf

# Translate sections before rendering (e.g., to Spanish)
resumecraftr export-pdf --template modern --translate ES

By default PDFs land in cv-workspace/output/ using deterministic names such as jdoe_modern_es_principal-engineer.pdf, so rerunning the same template overwrites the prior export. Translation runs cache their JSON next to the tailored file (my_cv.tailored_sections.es.translated.json) for quick re-use.

Run the end-to-end marketing sample:

# Generates the John Doe Principal Engineer CV, tailors it, and renders a PDF with the modern template
bash examples/resumecraftr_example.sh --use-poetry

# The published PDF is copied to docs/samples/john-doe-principal-engineer.pdf for GitHub Pages hosting

Preview the CLI-generated PDF here: Principal Engineer sample.
